@churtnobain Some folks prefer Texican now now, but back then it was Texian until Texan took over circa 1838. Texians called themselves Texians.

@JCovensky @Warlockyone People in Texas used "Texian" until 1837-38 when "Texan" fell into favor. Texican was not a way Texians referred to themselves, though it does appear in some non-Texas newspapers of the day. So did "Texasian," oddly.

If anyone wants to take a quick survey about Texas and being Texan, Michael Sparkman could benefit from your responses.

I’m pretty happy with this next episode. I’m finally putting to use the top secret survey project from last year. I’ve contacted one person if they want to participate. I’ll be happy to have a few more participants. Let me know. For people who live or have lived in Texas.

@sherriematula June 16 & 17 were the last general and committee SBOE meetings. Please provide a link to where this language was allegedly proposed. No such hearing is posted on the TEA/SBOE site.

@TracesofTexas Young wildcatter Hunt bought out the oversold scammy stock companies of Marion Joiner and settled all the lawsuits filed by shareholders to consolidate his huge interest in the East Texas field. Wrote two utopian libertarianesque novels, too.

Legendary Texas oilman H.L. Hunt at the age of 22 in 1911. He traded poker winnings for oil rights, ultimately securing title to much of the East Texas Oil Field, one of the world's largest oil deposits. He had 14 children, 3 wives and, when he died, was the world's richest man.

@derrickjeter @TracesofTexas That’s been my average experience all around: 6 months to a year. Hatters are an odd lot. A sweet, odd lot, though. The time you wait for the lid is time you spend getting to know your hatter. Win-win!
Corpus Christi, TX 🇺🇸 English
@TexasHistory @TracesofTexas Thank you. There are other great hatters in the state, but John is just an old cowhand who is salt of the earth. My lid took about six or seven months, but worth the wait. I’ve gotten more compliments on this hat than any I’ve owned.

1937: a destitute farmer in Quanah, Texas. I keep saying I need a hat like this man is wearing, dangit. Hard times, tough people.

@derrickjeter @TracesofTexas That’s a good looking lid! I have custom hat coming that I ordered back in November. I wanted it for winter but supply chain issues begged to differ!

@majesticdrive @OfficialAlamo It’s a poorly worded tweet. The point is it was fought in someone’s front yard.

@derrickjeter @WiseAboutTexas He kept to his usual message. That it was a part of the whole melange but not THE cause of the Tex Rev. He’s stayed true to his research.

At the @TxStHistAssoc San Jacinto Symposium today, ogling this gentleman’s left handed penmanship while I scribble notes on my iPad that resemble my childhood Etch-A-Sketch doodles. Interesting presentations & kind folks all around.

Fun to see Austin's Colony giving a shout out to De Witt's Colony for picking up Jose Antonio Navarro as commissioner.
(From Three-Legged Willie's paper, The Mexican Citizen. March 17, 1831. He sold his stake in the paper at the end of that year.)
